Featured artist of the week

This week I'm featuring Lorna Keay of FeltLikeaMouse.

Based in the Scottish borders Lorna is a careworker and part time crafter. The name of her Etsy shop is funny and quirky and aptly reflects the characters she creates.

Lorna's creative talent shows not only in the clever and cute little characters she makes but also in the stories and whitty scenarios she creates for them.
